With queens that can grow to two inches long, Asian giant hornets can use mandibles shaped like spiked shark fins to wipe out a honeybee hive in a matter of hours, decapitating the bees and flying away with the thoraxes to feed their young. For larger targets, the hornet’s potent venom and stinger — long enough to puncture a beekeeping suit — make for an excruciating combination that victims have likened to hot metal driving into their skin.

So the updated tally of closeted politicians snorting meth and banging male escorts is now:
Republicans: 150-ish
Democrats: 1
And at least the Democrats weren’t trying to make “the gay” illegal...
Is there any way to add a fifth circle named “Idiocracy”? Because I feel like we are also there, in a movie that seems more prescient with each passing day.
Oh it’s starting:

Movie production and Amazon TV series pull out of Georgia due to abortion bill. And more to follow...
Because the best thing to do to make people not want to leave these countries is to cut off one of the only sources of funding that they have.
”Since you want to come to the US I’ll just make your current country a shittier shithole*”
*tm Donald Trump
Same with the Orange County districts. The winning formula for the Dems here in CA is to tie the Republicans to Trump as closely as possible, he is THAT unpopular here, and that was even before his fucked up comments about the fires being CA’s fault.
He is truly radioactive around these parts, despite all his bullshit about the only congressional candidates that lost were the ones that didn’t “embrace” him.
(plus the districts aren’t gerrymandered by politicians, so that helps.)
The dumbfuck in chief is even too stupid to realize the fires around LA did not occur in a “forest”, and “forest management” had nothing to do with it.
But truth and facts don’t matter anymore.
Latino majority town in Kansas moves its only polling location (for a population of 27,000!) out of town.
